Chapter 312 Don’t... don’t kill Shang’er!
Tan Fu stood aside and watched as the people robbed the Tan Mansion's property one by one. Even the gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse were not spared. He was so angry that his face turned ashen and his chest heaved violently.
"Stop! Don't take it! These are all the money of the Tan family!" he shouted hysterically.
However, what responded to him was a sneer and a burly figure.
A burly man strode forward and kicked Tan Fu on the butt.
Tan Fu rolled down the stairs like a kite with a broken string, looking very miserable.
The burly man picked up a few banknotes and gold, swaggered down the stairs, and came to Lan Xiyue. He smiled innocently and said, "Miss, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the Tan Mansion. Don't you want to take some?"
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly, "I don't need these, so I'll give them to you. I'll use the money from the Tan Mansion to make up for the suffering you've endured."
The man's face was filled with an irrepressible smile. He looked at the heroic woman in front of him with admiration in his heart: "Girl, you are so amazing! You can beat these lackeys who are always showing off their power and make them unable to fight back by yourself. Do you know that the people of our Yancheng are almost all oppressed by these dog officials and the people of the Tan Mansion to the point where they can't breathe." His eyes revealed endless gratitude and relief, as if the resentment that had been accumulated for a long time was finally released at this moment.
Many people around also echoed the sentiment, holding tightly in their hands the money they had robbed from the Tan residence, with long-lost smiles on their faces.
Someone shouted loudly: "Yes, yes, God has eyes! Finally someone took care of these bastards!"
At this time, the Tan Mansion was in a mess.
The people not only took away their belongings, but also the tables, chairs and benches, which were all moved out.
The streets were crowded with people and cheers were deafening. Every citizen's face was filled with unprecedented joy and satisfaction.
Lan Xiyue stood in the crowd. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Liang Shanshan and Liang Qiqi who were forced out by the people.
Tan Lin took them back to her parents' home, but she didn't expect to encounter such a change.
Liang Shanshan and Liang Qiqi looked at the people around them in horror. When they saw Liang Guo lying lifeless on the ground, their eyes widened and they cried out, "Daddy!"
Tan Lin walked over slowly with the help of her maid. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of despair.
Seeing this, Liang Shanshan and Liang Qiqi were so frightened that their bodies trembled. They shouted in unison, "Mom!" Their voices were filled with helplessness and fear.
Lan Xiyue watched all this coldly, her eyes sharp as a knife, "You have lost your backing, how dare you still be so arrogant?"
Liang Qiqi's face was pale, her eyes filled with fear. She pointed at Lan Xiyue and said in a choked voice, "You, you killed my father. My father is an official of the imperial court. The emperor will definitely not let you go if he finds out."
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar. Lan Xiyue turned her head and saw a horse galloping towards them. The person on the horse was Liang Shang who had just returned from the academy.
When Liang Shang heard about what happened in the county government office, he was extremely anxious and hurried to the Tan Mansion on horseback.
He whipped his horse and spurred it on, completely disregarding the safety of the people around him.
Several people were whipped by Liang Shang and felt the burning pain, so they all hid aside.
Just then, an old man accidentally fell to the ground, and the horse was about to step on him.
Lan Xiyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She flashed in front of the horse. She gathered her strength in her palms and hit the horse hard.
The horse screamed, leaned back, and fell heavily to the ground.
Liang Shang also fell off his horse, rolled on the ground, and stood up awkwardly, staring at Lan Xiyue with gloomy eyes: "Who are you?"
Lan Xiyue's voice was as cold as ice: "You are not worthy of knowing the name of my aunt." After that, she helped the old man up and said, "Old man, are you okay?"
The old man stood up tremblingly, feeling terrified. "Thank you, young lady. If it weren't for you, I would be dead today!"
Tan Lin, Liang Shanshan and Liang Qiqi hurried to Liang Shang's side.
Liang Qiqi's eyes were filled with fear and anger. She looked at Lan Xiyue and said with gritted teeth, "This woman is very skilled in martial arts. Even Ren La is no match for her. Daddy... Daddy, she... Woo... Daddy's neck was broken by her. He's dead." After she finished speaking, Liang Shanshan burst into tears, tears rolling down her face like beads with broken strings.
Liang Shang looked at Liang Guo's body on the ground and shouted, "Father!"
Liang Xiang turned his head with a sinister look in his eyes, staring at Lan Xiyue, as if he wanted to eat her alive. He shouted angrily: "You are looking for death!" Before he finished speaking, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the sword light was like lightning, going straight for Lan Xiyue's vitals.
Lan Xiyue's figure was light and nimble, and she easily dodged the fierce blow by leaning to the side. With lightning speed, she instantly arrived in front of Liang Shang, easily snatched the long sword from his hand, and then slapped Liang Shang in the chest. With a "puff", Liang Shang spit out blood and stumbled back several steps before he could barely stand.
"Brother!" Liang Shanshan and Liang Qiqi exclaimed, their eyes full of worry.
Tan Lin was also supported by the maid and walked over. She looked at Liang Shang's pale face and said, "Xiang'er, you shouldn't have come back. Go away."
Liang Shang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He had not expected that this seemingly weak woman could possess such profound inner strength. He forced himself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I'm fine."
At this moment, an old lady came to Lan Xiyue crying, her eyes red and swollen, her voice choked with sobs: "Girl, this Liang Shang is a beast! My little daughter was kidnapped by him, insulted and brutally murdered. He is an absolute beast!" As she spoke, the old lady knelt in front of Lan Xiyue, holding the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands, "Please, girl, kill this beast and avenge my poor little daughter!"
Before he finished speaking, several old ladies and old men staggered over, their eyes full of grief and indignation. Their daughters or granddaughters had all been tortured by Liang Shang.
They recounted their experiences, and every word pierced the hearts of everyone present like a knife.
Lan Xiyue looked at the helpless people in front of her and said slowly, "Don't worry, everyone. Today, I, Lan Xiyue, will seek justice for you!"
Tan Lin stood in front of Liang Xiang, pointing a trembling finger at the innocent people, spit flying from her mouth: "You lowly things, it's a blessing for you to be favored by my son! I, Tan Lin, will never let her succeed even if I risk my life! Shang'er, leave now!"
Lan Xiyue's figure flashed by like a ghost, now standing between Tan Lin and Liang Shang. Her eyes were as cold as ice. One hand tightly grasped Tan Lin's throat, while the other ruthlessly locked Liang Shang's neck. Her voice was low and chilling. "Leave? Today, I will let you witness with your own eyes how your son died here."
A trace of fear flashed in Tan Lin's eyes. She struggled, her voice trembling: "No...don't...don't kill Shang'er!"
But the only response she got was Lan Xiyue's resolute eyes and Liang Shang's fingers gradually tightening around her neck.
With a "click", Liang Shang's life fire was extinguished in an instant, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear.
